Chapter 815: Chapter 805: Black Fiend Island

“If you dare to touch those two Black Soul Spirit Fruits, I guarantee I’ll chop off your filthy claws!” An extremely cold and icy voice echoed from the void!

Ye Zhen’s hand, which was reaching for the so-called Black Soul Spirit Fruits, abruptly stopped. He slowly lifted his head and glanced at a certain spot in the void, his eyes narrowing, and made a gesture known to the members of the Red Fire Subdivision!

Seeing Ye Zhen’s gesture, the people of the Red Fire Subdivision were in an uproar. Almost simultaneously, the void where Ye Zhen’s gaze lingered began to tremble violently. Just like Jian Qianxiong’s previous sudden appearance, a martial artist with a black crown on his head, clothed in blood-robes and wearing black boots, exuding a powerful aura of menace, slowly yet swiftly squeezed out from the void!

Of course, this wasn’t a true ability to break through the void. According to what Ye Zhen knew, it was a Divine Power Secret Technique that used the power of void energy disruption to move swiftly!

The speed was extraordinarily fast, at least a dozen times faster than the normal flight speed of a Vein Forging Realm Martial Artist, and very formidable, though few martial artists knew how to use it!

The moment this Black Crown Blood-Robe warrior appeared, a vast and unbridled spirit pressure of an Establishment King poured down, forcing the many Soul Sea Realm Martial Artists of the Red Fire Subdivision, who just caught their breath, to tumble to the ground once more!

“Fourth Stage Establishment King?”

Sensing the cultivation aura of this presence before him, Ye Zhen relaxed a bit. To put it into perspective, he had already killed Fifth Stage Establishment Kings, so a Fourth Stage was really nothing!

Upon appearing, the Black Crown Blood-Robe Establishment King greedily swept his eyes over the two Black Soul Spirit Fruits that flickered with heart-throbbing waves of Divine Soul Power.

“Heh heh, not bad, indeed not bad! These Black Soul Spirit Fruits, so full and almost comparable to the Innate Soul Light of a Ninth Stage Establishment King, can only arise from individuals of deep resentment who have given up on life—good stuff, truly good stuff!”

Like seeing a delicacy, the Black Crown Blood-Robe warrior showed a hint of greed, then coldly glanced at Ye Zhen, who had just stopped his actions. “Boy, lucky for you, if you had dared to touch this thing earlier, you’d already be a corpse!”

He seemed very confident, as if he hadn’t noticed at all the nearly two hundred Vein Forging Realm Martial Artists and more than a thousand Soul Sea Realm Martial Artists surrounding him with disdain and arrogance!

The Black Crown Blood-Robe warrior wasn’t in a hurry to take the Black Soul Spirit Fruits. His gaze shifted to the vast pit, kilometers deep and bubbling with fiery red lava, that stretched for miles underground, clicking his tongue in admiration!

“This power, tsk tsk, perhaps only the master could achieve such results! That Black Demon Burning Spirit Pill, its power truly extraordinary….”

This self-delusional monologue from the Black Crown Blood-Robe warrior left Ye Zhen somewhat bewildered but he managed to catch the gist, it seemed this guy in front of him was somehow connected to the Black Soul Spirit Fruits, perhaps the mutation that occurred with the Yun Pochuan couple had something to do with the Black Demon Burning Spirit Pill he muttered about!

Before Ye Zhen could inquire, the Black Crown Blood-Robe warrior grinned at Ye Zhen in a sinister manner, making the smile appear more terrifying than a glare!

“Boy, isn’t our Black Fiend Island’s stuff effective? The Yun Pochuan couple was working for you, right? How about it, pretty powerful? Next time, if you need more, come find us in the Outer Sea at Black Fiend Island. As long as you’re willing to pay the price and send the right people, selling you a few Black Demon Burning Spirit Pills is not an issue at all!” The Black Crown Blood-Robe warrior laughed!

Though his rambling was confusing, Ye Zhen managed to discern some meaning.

The guy in front had mistaken them for members of the Yun Pochuan couple’s group!

In normal circumstances, when using a killing move like what the Yun Pochuan couple did, their side would absolutely have triumphed!

Those who survived would certainly be from the Yun Pochuan couple’s side!

Ye Zhen chuckled and cupped his hands towards the Black Crown Blood-Robe warrior, “May I ask who senior is?”

“Do you not know, boy? I’m a Black Crown Envoy from Black Fiend Island…” Halfway through his words, he paused abruptly, “I am the Black Crown King Yua Du from Black Fiend Island. Hmm, as per the earlier agreement, half of the war spoils should be handed over to Black Fiend Island. I estimate it should not be less than five million Mid-grade Spirit Crystals, hand it over now!”

These words were said earnestly, leaving Ye Zhen puzzled, realizing this was just a convenient robbery.

As Ye Zhen knew, the Yun Pochuan couple going overseas to seek secret techniques was a personal venture, having nothing to do with this war!

The next words from the Black Crown King Yua Du revealed his true intent!

“Boy, you aren’t thinking of breaking the agreement, are you? Think carefully about the consequences of breaking it, we can send a few death soldiers like Yun Pochuan anytime, it wouldn’t be a problem to wipe out your hall, right?”

As he spoke, he impatiently waved his hand, “You have a hundred breaths, if you can’t hand it over by then, you better figure it out yourselves, hmm!”

With these words, Ye Zhen knew the guy in front was bluffing, most likely seeing no Establishment Kings present, he decided to extort on the spot!

The funniest thing was, this guy didn’t even realize he got the wrong target!

Finished speaking, the Black Crown King Yua Du focused his eyes entirely on the two Black Soul Spirit Fruits formed from the bizarre self-destruction of the Yun Pochuan couple. As he slowly approached, his fingertips emitted rays containing Innate Soul Light, seemingly ready to collect the Black Soul Spirit Fruits!

“Senior, hold on!” Suddenly, Ye Zhen, who was closer to the Black Soul Spirit Fruits, interrupted Yua Du’s process of collecting them, causing Yua Du to be somewhat annoyed!

“What?” Yua Du’s expression twisted with rage. “Boy, don’t test my patience—looking at these two Black Soul Spirit Fruits has already put me in the best mood today. If my mood turns sour, all of you will be….”

“Senior, it seems you’ve mistaken something!” Ye Zhen shrugged with a sarcastic smile, shaking his head!

“Mistaken? Mistaken about what?” Yua Du was somewhat puzzled!

“Senior, we are actually enemies of Yun Pochuan and his wife! With them defeated, we are the victors, so the Black Soul Spirit Fruit before us ought to be… our spoils of war!”

The moment the words “spoils of war” left his mouth, a thread-like Spirit Light flashed from Ye Zhen’s fingertips, instantly engulfing the two Black Soul Spirit Fruits tightly. With a move of his Divine Sense, he took the two Black Soul Spirit Fruits!

The eyes of the Black Crown King Yua Du suddenly bulged, “What? Enemies? Impossible… Bastard, stop, put down those Black Soul Spirit Fruits, you’re courting death!”

The last two words were a roar from Yua Du who, upon seeing Ye Zhen take the Black Soul Spirit Fruits, was consumed with rage, his Killing Qi and Spiritual Power Wave surged like a tide, but just as it began, it suddenly froze!

Whether it was Killing Qi or the Spiritual Power Wave, it all stagnated in place, not daring to have the slightest ripple, and for the first time, a trace of fear appeared in the Black Crown King Yua Du’s expression!

He dared not move, fearing that any movement would trigger the targeted auras from over twenty terrifying presences crashing down on him, allowing only the slowest of head turns. Then, he saw on the left a three-meter-long black Demon-Annihilating General!

There were ten terrifying auras locking onto him, and ten more behind him!

“Demon-Annihilating General, damn it, how do you have such a thing?” Yua Du’s face turned exceedingly grim!

Ye Zhen, however, casually snapped his fingers, “Alright, Senior Yua Du, is that right? Now, tell me exactly what the Black Demon Spirit Fruit does, including its origin, usage, and effects!

Well, if I’m in a good mood, perhaps I’ll give you a way out!”

Ye Zhen had exchanged so many words with Yua Du just to give them time to prepare the Demon-Annihilating General! Of course, as for dealing with the Fourth Stage Establishment King, if Ye Zhen fought desperately, defeating him wouldn’t be a huge problem. But if there’s an easy way, why not use it?

Hearing this, the Black Crown King Yua Du was initially stunned, then laughed as if he heard something unbelievable, “Kid, you dare to kill me?”

“I am of Black Fiend Island, you dare kill me? Aren’t you afraid of the extermination of your entire clan? Even Establishment Kings must avoid us Black Fiend Island members by a wide berth!”

“If you know what’s good for you and hand over these two Demon-Annihilating Generals, I might consider letting it go!” Although he said this, the void behind Yua Du quivered slightly!

This fluctuation might fool Zuo Xiong and Yuen An holding the Demon-Annihilating General, but it would never escape Ye Zhen in his Sword Heart Enlightenment state!

Clearly, Yua Du intended to seize the chance to secretly initiate a secret technique to escape. If he managed to activate that void-escaping technique, with that terrifying speed, there was a possibility of eluding the Demon-Annihilating General’s lock-on!

Ye Zhen’s eyes turned cold, and his lips sharply uttered three words: “Fire at will!”

At the instant these three words were spoken, it appeared to be a natural instinct as Yuen An and Zuo Xiong’s fingers moved simultaneously, firing the Demon-Annihilating General!

In an instant, twenty Demon-Annihilating Spirit Arrows created whirlwinds as they blasted towards the Black Crown King Yua Du!

Yua Du’s face twisted in utmost distortion at that moment, “Damn it, you dare?”

He roared, but the power of the secret technique he was quietly deploying starkly escalated, but as if to verify his insight as a Fourth Stage Establishment King, Yua Du realized before its full activation, that the twenty Demon-Annihilating Spirit Arrows would undoubtedly reach him first.

Immediately, Yua Du’s response strategy shifted from escape to fighting defense!

Layer upon layer of Spirit Light and Talisman Light exploded simultaneously, each eruption causing Yua Du’s lips to twitch—an extreme display of pain!

These life-saving techniques, which even late Establishment Kings would hesitate to employ easily, he used without reserve in that moment!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Twenty Demon-Annihilating Spirit Arrows of different attributes concentrated fire at one point, triggering a chain explosion, with terrifying shockwaves emanating into all directions from the void!

However, the force of this round of Demon-Annihilating Spirit Arrows lacked somewhat, all being formed with High Grade Attribute Spirit Crystals rather than Supreme Attribute Spirit Crystals!

A few breaths later, as the brilliance faded, Yua Du reappeared in the void, horribly battered and riddled with wounds!

Covered in bleeding wounds, Yua Du pointed at Ye Zhen while coughing blood and laughing maniacally, “You brat, if I don’t die, you’re doomed, doomed, you’re going to face Black Fiend Island’s insane retaliation!”

Amidst the maniacal laughter, the vibration of the void behind Yua Du intensified!

Ye Zhen’s smile turned brighter, “Senior, kindly look above your head!”

“Hmm?”

At the moment of looking up, a gigantic tiger’s paw came into the closest contact with Yua Du’s head! (To be continued.
